Elai enables AI videos with digital avatars, text-to-video, PPTX-to-video, URL-to-video, auto translation, voice cloning, custom avatars, interactivity, branching, quiz elements, brand kit, API, and Zapier integration. Hosting model: SaaS/web app plus API; Enterprise offers SSO, a dedicated account manager, team collaboration, custom integration, brand kit, personalization, and custom avatar/voice cloning. Data processing: According to its Security page, Elai processes basic data such as name/email, scripts and texts in the editor or via API, uploaded media, as well as material for personal avatars and mascots. Storage: According to Elai, all data including backups is stored in the USA in AWS and DigitalOcean data centers; data is protected in transit via TLS/SSL and secured at rest on AWS servers. Deletion/retention: Users can delete or download data in their profile; according to the Security page, all user data is deleted when an account is deleted. API: The Elai API is available for paid and trial accounts and includes, among other things, video rendering, Story API, Avatar API, Voice API, webhooks, and uploads. Training on customer data: No clear public non-training commitment for all customer data was found. **Conclusion: ** Strong for scalable training and corporate videos, but due to EU data protection concerns related to US hosting and avatar/voice data, only recommended with a clean contractual and consent process. [Privacy Policy](https://elai.io/website-privacy-policy/) **Overall assessment:** Conditionally GDPR-suitable. **Positive **is that Elai provides its own security page, states GDPR and CPPA compliance, describes data deletion and data export in the profile or via an account deletion request, and mentions technical protective measures such as TLS/SSL, encrypted storage on AWS servers, backups, access restrictions, and vulnerability scans. According to the Privacy Policy, Elai is also a subsidiary of Panopto and refers to Panopto’s EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, UK Extension, and Swiss-U.S. DPF certification for international data transfers. **Negative** is that, according to Elai, all data including backups is stored in data centers in the USA, operated by providers such as Amazon Web Services and DigitalOcean. According to the security page, Elai processes, among other things, names, email addresses, scripts and texts from the editor/API, uploaded photos, videos, music, as well as video/image material for personal avatars and mascots. A publicly fully verifiable AVV/DPA or a complete list of subprocessors could not be reliably found in the directly accessible official sources; a trust/security portal existed, but was not fully publicly accessible. **Server location: **USA according to the official security page. **Conclusion:** Well usable for companies if the enterprise contract, DPA/AVV, transfer mechanism, subprocessors, and avatar/voice consents are reviewed; do not use for sensitive personal data without additional data protection review.
